Every week we highlight a company leading the charge in transparency and making waves in their industry. This week we are featuring Belong Health.
Founded in 2021 by healthcare vets J. Patrick Foley, Alon Krashinsky, Brian Lovett, Gen Gillespie, Lewis Biggers, and Tahasin Alam, Belong Health was born out of a simple yet ambitious goal: make healthcare feel a little more human—especially for those who’ve long been underserved. After decades in leadership roles at companies like Cigna, Foley launched Belong to support regional payers in delivering better care to Medicare Advantage and Dual-Eligible members, populations often stuck navigating a maze of fragmented services.
Belong’s approach is both tech-enabled and deeply personal—integrating medical, behavioral, and social support under one coordinated care model. In just a few years, it’s partnered with local health plans and health systems, providing the behind-the-scenes infrastructure (and brainpower) needed to launch new insurance offerings tailored to complex patients. With $40 million raised in Series A funding from NEA and Maverick Ventures, Belong is growing fast—but keeping its focus on compassionate care and community-first impact.
Whether it’s aligning clinical teams or helping members feel seen, Belong Health is rethinking what it means to deliver care for people who need it most.
